Frist Subject of Anti-Stem Cell TV Ads

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - An evangelical group has begun a weeklong advertising campaign in Iowa criticizing Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist for backing expanded embryonic stem cell research. "We know Iowa is a way to get everybody's attention," said Gary Cass, head of the Florida-based Center for Reclaiming America. "Our hope is Senator Frist will hear from Iowans and they are kind of a bellwether state in the heartland."

Iowa is a critical state in the presidential nominating process and Frist is considered a potential candidate for the Republican nomination in 2008.

In the ad, which shows a photo of a smiling baby, an announcer says: "Senator Frist: we cannot save innocent lives by destroying them. Tell Senator Frist to stand with President Bush (website - news - bio) and oppose research that destroys human embryos."

Cass said the ads began airing Thursday on television stations in the Des Moines area and local radio stations around the state. The group is spending about $50,000 but could expand the campaign if more money is raised. It also sent e-mails to a national listing of 500,000 social conservatives.

2. The rePIGs were too stupid to realize what they have aligned

with. They thought they had a puddy cat but they have a tiger with big sharp claws. How could they be so dumb? I have lived around these freaks my whole life. One even locked me in a car to try to convert me. They are crazy crazy crazy.

8. Poetic justice - hoisted on his own petard...although I do

support his position on stem-cell research, but then he flip-flopped and came out for intelligent design, so all bets are off. I won't grill him, let his own people do that.
